Nvidia kicks off second GeForce Summer Nights giveaway with a custom 007 First Light RTX 5080 graphics card
Table of Contents
Anyone looking to upgrade to one of the best graphics cards for gaming might want to check out Nvidia’s latest ‘GeForce Summer Nights’ GPU giveaway. You can get your hands on an RTX 5080 Founder Edition card with a custom 007 First Light wrap for a limited time. The giveaway is being held across its social media, including X, and Reddit users can get an extra cash prize.
Last week, Nvidia gave away the same GPU (the RTX 5080 FE), except with a Gears of War: E-Day custom wrap rather than this week’s 007 one. As mentioned, it’s part of the GeForce Summer Nights event, which will continue for the remainder of July – which means Nvidia is likely to squeeze in one more giveaway before the end of the month, likely on Friday, July 31.
Your chance to win a custom RTX 5080 Founders Edition card
Entering your name into the raffle is easy. Simply head over to Nvidia’s official GeForce post (see below) and comment #RTXPowersPlay, then tune into the 007 First Light takeover on July 24 between 1- 3 PM Pacific Time. Based on last week, this should be taking place on Nvidia’s official Twitch channel.

How good is the RTX 5080 Founders Edition?
We put Nvidia’s first-party RTX 5080 FE model through its paces in our testing lab early last year, concluding that it’s one of the best graphics cards for 4K gaming out there. Of course, it’s not quite as powerful as the flagship RTX 5090, but it’s more than enough for most people’s needs – and certainly good enough for smooth performance in 007 First Light.
